In a Photograph Gallery.


A sailow complexionesi old lady ac-
conpanied by a pbenomenalIy unpre-
possessing daughter recently walked into
an Austin photograph gallery.
Be you the Photographic man p she
inquired.
Yes, ma'am," replied the artist in
plate glass and chemicals, sean / do any
thing for your
No, reckon not I'm too far over the
border for you 10 waste any of your me-
chanical genius on me. Its my darter.
Partheny, here, | want tuck. Can't you
sorter mitergate that complexion of hern
and build up that nose what was broken
by fallin' outer a winderg"
think can, replied the artist.
I've seen picturs Of dead loads Of our
relations, an I've alters noticed that the
pictw fla;tered 'em mighty. ! know
enough about the biz TO recognize that
you have everything in your own hands
You kin make woman like iimplicute
of the first water, or Mrs. Langtry, jest
as yer please. Say can't yer take in Par
theny's ears few so she won't look so
much like male rabbit
"There will be no difficulty in that"
How about that air squint in her left
eye?r
| can touch it up with India ink
What particular pose do you think
best for Partheny's style of beauty, full
circus or side shows?''
You mean quarter view or profile ?"
guess do You see the photo
graph is goin to young feler what put
an advertisement in the paper for cor
respondent, and Partheny's writin TO
him. Now you see it won't hurt fur the
pictur to sorter mitergate her little blem-
ishes. You'll do the fair thing by Par
theny, won't yer?'
Certainly. madam, I'll DO my best"
Well all right then. jnst go ahead
and square them shoulders back jest a
trifle, and bring the nose down fine, wipe
off them freckles and tone down her ears
an the hair 1t won't be red in her

oh no, there will be no color shown
but black"
That's comfort Gracious Partheny,
what would that young man think if you
sent him an oil paintin' taken from life?
Kin stay in the room?'
Oh, yes.

Horse Collars.

The use Of the collar is governed by
the requirements of each style of harness
Custom has much to do with regulating
these STYLES, though these have to be in
fuenc ID by men interested in improving
the horse. In a general way it may be
said that the trotting horse, in order TO
give full action to his shoulders, works
best in breast collar when driven single
as the only strain put upon the shoulders
is the draft But if driven double, the
pole and yoke must be supported, and
the bearing down upon the neck requires
more support and better distribution of
the strain that can be given by the breast
collar. so light round collar is preferred
The making of the latter collar is
branch of business that requires much
skill The collar must fit snugly and yet
not bind any point. II was long argued
that a soft cushion was wanted, and that
the gals on the horses were due to the
bad character of the collars. This theory
seems 10 have been abandoned by the
most intelligent horselnen, who now de-
mand a collar that is solid, smooth and
firm and and that fits the neck, and in
order to maintain the latter quality
the names are fitted TO the collar instead
Of being allowed to draw the collar out
of shape, as they will if not bent TO fit.
Modern harness makers claim that
there is no fixed rule that can be relied
on for the making of well-ftting collar,
owning TO the difference and size of hor-
ses' necks. An adept in harness making
says that the best result can be gained
by taking measurment of a horses neck
as follows; Rest the short arm of 4 ear
penters square upon the horses neck
where the collar rests, and allowing the
lower end to rest upon the bearing line
of the shoulder. and indicating the length
by the long arm of the square In addi-
tion to this the collar maker should
know the character of the neck, whether
full or thin at three points-top, at shoul-
der and midway between these two
points. For weight of collar give the cir
conference Of the body at the shoulder

We find upon reference 10 scientific au-
lhority that the Romans of medieval
times employed malt extract or beer in
the composition of their mortar for build
ing purposes, in order TO render it hard.
1t is said, however, tnat the practice has
entirely died out in Europe and never
existed in this country. This. of course,
reflects great credit upon us as astute citi-
2ens of progressive nation. Americans
discovered at an early day the adaptable
ity of malt extract TO the hardening of
brain tissue, and some have ever since
been concentrating their energies in the
effort to obtain sufficient Of the extract
to convert themselves into adamantine
specimens of the genus very-hard-case.

Runaway Engines.

As general rule, when locomotives
start of themselves, they are deserted
temporarily by the runner and fireman
and if the attendants. before leaving the
engine, were TO place the link in mid
gear the locomotive would not start, even
il the throttle-valve was opened. Here,
then, is rule which should be enforced
on all railroads
Whenever locomotive is standing,
place the link in mid-gear Old and
careful runners do this /; and foremen
should see that Others follow their exam
pie. 1t may be stated, further, that the
throttle-yalves of locomotives when
properly constructed. cannot be opened
by external shock, 50 that the fact of
such opening argues an improper design
or imperfect adjustment.
Generally speaking, locomotive throt-
tle-valves are made 80 as to be locked
when closed, and also in any position of
opening, either automatically, by spring
latch engaging the notches of sector, or
by a screw controlled by the runner.
The former arrangement leaves less TO the
discretion or rwatchfulness of the runner.
But locking devices, like all other pro-
ducts OF human skill, occasionally be-
come imperative, and require frequent
inspection to see that springs have the
proper tension, that notches of the sector
are not worn or broken, that screw
threads are not stripped, etc. Still,
cooked throttle-valve. with reasonable
care, may be trusted not to open by ex-
ternal shock, unless the shock should be
20 severe as TO break the locking device,
and even in this case, if the link is in
mid-gear, no serious accident is likely to
occur.
There are some locomotive throttle
valves, too many, we fear, which are OPP
Grated by simple lever without any
means of holding the valve, except the
friction of the packing in the stufiing-box
of the valve-stem To fit up an engine in
this way, and then to. leave it without
attendants and with the link down, is
simply to invite disaster Railroad Ga
